17:37 circ-user-1YnZJ    hello
17:38 circ-user-1YnZJ    do you know how can i add phpmyadmin to koha admin page?
17:42 oleonard           circ-user-1YnZJ: You could add an HTML link to the  IntranetmainUserblock system preference and it would show up on the Koha staff client home page
17:47 circ-user-1YnZJ    i mean how can i add phpmyadmin to koha
17:47 circ-user-1YnZJ    ?
17:48 circ-user-1YnZJ    i jsut want to make an backup database
17:54 oleonard           circ-user-1YnZJ: Are you asking how to install phpmyadmin on your koha server?
17:57 circ-user-1YnZJ    yes
17:58 circ-user-1YnZJ    and link its to koha admin page
17:58 circ-user-1YnZJ    some where around about koha, koha administrator
17:58 circ-user-1YnZJ    i want to see its as a tap box
17:59 oleonard           How to install phpMyAdmin isn't really a question for a Koha support channel. It would be better to consult the phpMyAdmin documentation
18:10 drojf              meeting in two hours?

20:06 rangi              if that makes sense
20:06 rangi              yep
20:06 Joubu              rangi: to signoff, submit a patch or both?
20:06 rangi              if you do a search in bugs for that keyword, you will find them ;)

20:08 andreashm          oh catmandu
20:08 wahanui            it has been said that catmandu is pretty super awesome
20:09 cait               jajm, wizzyrea, fredericd? bag?
20:09 bag                I have some - should I go first?
20:09 rangi              i think wizzyrea is still on the bus
20:09 cait               yep please start bag
20:09 bag                Jenkins (once tcohen is back in the office I will spend sometime with him so we can get master stable again)
20:10 bag                I am really interested in XSS patches from Joubu ( needs QA http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13618 )
20:10 huginn`            04Bug 13618: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Signed Off , Prevent XSS in the Staff Client and the OPAC
20:10 bag                qa team that would be awesome if we nudge that along
20:10 cait               I am on it, I think it's pretty close now
20:10 khall              excellent!
20:10 bag                sweet
20:11 bag                Change in the wording on the bug (when changing the status to pushed to master).  I want to put (Pushed to Master - Should be in the May 2016 release)  - any objections?
20:11 wahanui            bag: that doesn't look right
20:11 Joubu              bag: it's a very hard one, cait found bugs when I was sure there were not...
20:11 irma               #info Irma, CALYX Sydney : sorry I am late
20:11 Joubu              bag: we will certainly found some others when pushed
20:12 bag                yeah Joubu I think there are going to be some - I will be cautious when pushing - but would like that early early in the release cycle :)
20:12 Joubu              but at least if it's pushed not to close to the release, we will have time to get them!
20:12 rangi              nope
20:12 Joubu              :)
20:12 rangi              that was nope to bag, no objections to changing the text
20:12 rangi              not nope to that bag ;-)
20:13 Joubu              bag: yep good idea
20:13 bag                cool it was brought to my attention that it was sort of hard to go back a few years and see a message “that was pushed to master”  but when?  heh
20:13 bag                currently my goal is to keep the PQA queue low
20:13 rangi              dont forget you have the release notes text area now too
20:13 Joubu              when you have it, but you don't know where :)
20:13 bag                Patches - it's all fair game now.  Anything that is passed QA is a candidate to be pushed
20:14 bag                we also Created Elastic Search branch for easy testing.  ( http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/new_12478_elasticsearch )
20:14 bag                bug 12478

20:14 Joubu              master is quite unstable at the moment, but we have patches in the queue
20:15 Joubu              (I don't have the numbers, sorry)
20:15 bag                it’s pretty close to master and I will work on trying to make sure that branch is close to current
20:16 bag                yes it’s unstable - I want to work on that in the next couple of weeks.  I was waiting for tcohen to come back so I can learn more about Jenkins - then I’m sure we’ll have some spots to attack
20:16 bag                would be great to get it stable
20:16 Joubu              Why is the branch called new?
20:16 cait1              test
20:16 Joubu              it is the same as the one on the catalyst repo, right?
20:16 cait1              sorry, i lost connection to IRC
20:16 cait1              reading back now quickly
20:17 Joubu              (rebased I meant)
20:17 bag                hmmm something to do with how gmcharlt_ set up the permissions
20:17 bag                yes it is the same as the catalyst repo currently
20:17 rangi              i think you need to get your nick back before you can continue the meeting cait1
20:17 cait1              hm already exists
20:18 cait1              we need to kill the othe rcait
20:18 rangi              we cant
20:18 cait1              ugh
20:18 rangi              it needs to timeout/fall off
20:18 rangi              we can only kick it from the channel
20:18 rangi              which doesn't actually help
20:18 bag                yeah whoops
20:18 rangi              the nick still exists
20:18 rangi              :)
20:18 drojf              you can kill it if you have a password

20:21 bag                khall: can you ask nick to take a look at that one?
20:21 khall              will do!
20:21 cait               so we can get that fixed for the next maintenance releases
20:21 bag                hmm maybe both of those khall

20:23 bag                I am working on getting more bywater peeps to do sign-offs (getting the right tools inplace first)
20:24 cait               i think one problem is that we have a lot of hard to test things - architecture and internals
20:24 Joubu              bug 15570 affects stable releases
20:24 huginn`            04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15570 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Needs Signoff , circ/renew.pl is broken
20:24 bag                and will be putting an appeal to the librarians that work with bywater
20:25 cait               :)
20:26 cait               bag: maybe organizing a test day like lyon did could help
20:26 cait               helping people to set up sandboxes for bugs they have picked before
20:26 bag                cool :) noted
20:27 cait               ok, one last thing :)
20:27 andreashm          setting up sandboxes sounds like a good wau to make sign-offs easier
20:27 bag                once I am not traveling so much - I’ll be trying some virtual “help” too
20:27 tubaclarinet       I know there's <http://bywatersolutions.com/2013/11/29/koha-sandboxes/> but a video of it would be stellar!
20:27 cait               hm a tutorial video is a good idea!
20:28 cait               #idea create a tutorial video about setting up a sandbox, testing and signing off with it
20:28 barton             nengard has been looking at 'guide on the side' for training/documentation purposes, but I think that we could use it for testing as well
20:28 bag                cool I’ll ask nicole to create a video
20:28 cait               #idea organize a test day where libraries can pick bugs to test before and help them testing them (setting up sandboxes, fixing conflicts)
20:28 barton             +1 for video
20:28 cait               a webinar might work too
20:29 tubaclarinet       Please include in the video troubleshooting like symptoms of the wrong database, etc.
20:29 tubaclarinet       FWIW
20:29 cait               maybe we could add an faq section to the wiki page
20:29 barton             good idea tubaclarinet.
20:29 cait               about problems
20:29 cait               if you see... ... that did not work, because...
20:29 tubaclarinet       faq section = :-)

20:33 cait               #topic Comments on Circ Rules Revamp
20:33 bag                khall ^^^
20:33 cait               #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Circulation_Rules_Interface_and_Backend_Revamp_RFC
20:34 khall              We'd really like to nail down any issues with the circ rules revamp if there are any
20:34 khall              anyone who is interested please read the rfc
20:34 khall              if you've already read it and have any questions now, I'm here to field them
20:34 tubaclarinet       rfc = request for comment?
20:34 bag                yes
20:35 khall              I think this is very important in the long term as our movement to increasing amounts of circ rules has maid the current interface untenable
20:35 cait               I think i am slightly in favour of a more table like thing ot be honest
20:35 cait               but that's me
20:35 indradg            #info Indranil Das Gupta, India.
20:35 khall              cait: we already have a table like thing ; ) The primary goal is to move to a more flexible approach that allows for simpler rule sets
20:35 cait               I'd like something where I can easily compare rules for different itemtypes or different categories
20:35 khall              this approach doesn't jive all that well with a table based approach
20:36 Joubu              I think we need oleonard :)
20:36 khall              cait: that's already on my list!
20:36 cait               i am not sure how that would work with the mock up
20:36 ikourmou           #info Giannis Kourmoulis, Thessaloniki Greece
20:36 khall              I think a second screen that gives a matrix of types categories and libraries with what the rule will be ( and where that rule is coming from ) would be a good companion
20:36 andreashm          I have read the RFC... I'm a bit concerned that having a lot of issuing rules will make this new appoach hard to overview
20:37 BobB               indradg it must be early for you!
20:37 BobB               like middle of the night?
20:37 andreashm          khall: that seems like a good approach
20:37 khall              andreashm: that is what the second screen I propose will take care of
20:37 khall              thanks!
20:37 indradg            BobB: 2:10 am
20:37 BobB               :)  well done!
20:38 barton             cait -- how would you feel about some sort of explicit 'compare circ rules' functionality?
20:38 cait               khall: could youmaybe mock up the second screen too?
20:38 cait               to get a better idea?
20:38 hbraum             my consortia is sponsoring this development, although i’m very much letting pianohacker and khall take the reins on this. we’ve currently got 1200 issuingrule lines, so they have a good test case for lots of rules already.
20:38 * andreashm        would like that too
20:38 khall              cait: yes, I can do that
20:38 andreashm          hbraum: ouch
20:38 hbraum             and looking at the current mockup, a second screen overview would be helpful, I agree.
20:38 cait               #action khall asked nicely to add another mock-up for an overview kind of page
20:38 bag                yeah 1200 lines is crazy
20:39 khall              The first step is to change the internals without changing the externals. If anyone has an issue with the proposed schema please let us know asap
20:39 cait               it will be a bit harder to get a nice excel sheet out :)
20:40 cait               that's what we do now - because you can make it sortable
20:40 cait               if there is no longer a need for it... that might be not too bad
20:40 khall              this would be a table too, so very sortable
20:40 rangi              first thing id do is create a script where you can pass a itemtype, categorycode and branch, and get back what the rule applied would be
20:40 rangi              then you can change the internals
20:40 rangi              run that again
20:40 rangi              and prove it hasn't suddenly changed
20:40 khall              rangi: agreed, unit tests ++
20:41 barton             khall: I've got most of that written.
20:41 rangi              that script could then have a web frontend put on it later, so librarians could choose from a drop down, and see what rule would be applied .. rather than having to read everything
20:41 rangi              why was this book issued for 4 weeks .. oh it used this rule
20:41 khall              rangi: you're reading my mind ; ) We've discussed that idea
20:41 cait               #idea have a script that gives you the circ conditions for branch, itemtype and patron category entered
20:41 rangi              70% of support queuries gone :)
20:42 khall              I think that should definitely be built in
20:42 bag                more time to signoff!!!
20:42 Joubu              bag: heh, we have found what you wanted
20:42 hbraum             rangi ha! no kidding.
20:43 barton             In design discussions, we talked about making the lookup available on the circ page too, just for reference.
20:43 cait               hbraum: nekls++ btw for sponsoring - much needed
20:43 cait               for libraries with only 150 and less rules too :)
20:43 cait               ok, any more ideas or can we move on?
20:44 cait               full agenda tonight, but i don't want to rush youtoo much :)
20:44 khall              going once
20:44 hbraum             yw! the overall development scope of the project will also help branch specific circ-related rules get applied through this, right khall?
20:44 khall              hbraum: yes!
20:44 cait               i'd lke to move up a topic - Kohacon16
20:44 khall              it will hopefully be a grand unification theory for Koha circ rules
20:45 khall              agreed, let's move on
20:45 bag                thanks khall
20:45 cait               #topic KohaCon16 - Greece
20:45 cait               ikourmou?
20:45 ikourmou           i'm here!
20:45 cait               I think we are all curious for an update :)
20:46 wizzyrea           #info Liz Rea, Catalyst
20:46 ikourmou           we are working on the ocnference, we started with forming a committee
20:46 ikourmou           the dates are set
20:46 ikourmou           from 30th of may
20:46 davidnind          #info David Nind, Wellington, NZ
20:46 ikourmou           to 4th of june
20:46 cait               #info dates are set - may 30 - june 4
20:47 ikourmou           3 first days of presentations, then a day off for a roadtrip for sightseeing
20:47 ikourmou           and then teo days for the hackfest
20:47 ikourmou           the venue is already booked
20:47 ikourmou           and the webpage for the Kohacon16 will be live next week
20:48 ikourmou           I would like to ask you people for a couple of things...
20:48 JesseM             ikourmou++
20:48 ikourmou           there will be a call for presentations i suppose
20:49 ikourmou           what is the best way to deal with it?
20:49 cait               hm you could look at how it was done the last years maybe
20:49 cait               i think probably put it on the website, but alos send to the mailing lists
20:49 ikourmou           do we have to specify subjects in advance?
20:49 rangi              nope
20:50 rangi              apart from, should be Koha related :)
20:50 cait               i think you can probably keep it simple :)
20:50 rangi              it's nice to get as many local presentations as you can too
20:50 ikourmou           ok, there are some thoughts on presentation subjects from the organising team here
20:51 ikourmou           aso, when would we start accepting registrations?
20:51 cait               I think getting out the cfp would be highest prio now
20:52 cait               some people onl yget funding for travel if they get to speak
20:52 cait               or it's easier for them
20:52 cait               and also with an idea about the program, more people might register - not sure
20:52 ikourmou           ok, it could be done by next week
20:53 rangi              often it makes it easier for people to get funding
20:53 ikourmou           you mean a more specific program than i mentioned above, i suppose
20:53 rangi              to attend
20:53 rangi              if they can say "theres a presentation about linked data and Koha .. we want to do that" to their boss ;)
20:53 rangi              if that makes sense
20:54 ikourmou           ok, i understand
20:54 cait               ikourmou: i think if you have some specific topics oyu'd like to get presntations about you could put that in the cfp, but laeave it open for other ideas as well?
20:54 ikourmou           yes, that's what we were thinking
20:55 rangi              cool
20:55 cait               cool :)
20:55 BobB               re the conference dates, an early announcement to the mailing list is always good - announce early and announce often
20:55 drojf1             ikourmou: i think it is not uncommon to get a few people from the community to help decide on the presentations once the call for papers is over. if you need help with that feel free to ask
20:56 ikourmou           BobB: already sent to koha mailing list and to koha news
20:56 BobB               keep doing it, just sayin'
20:56 ikourmou           BobB: will do again with the webpage address, thx
20:57 BobB               yes, very good
20:57 wizzyrea           ikourmou: please let me know when  you have stuff for the community kohacon16 page
20:57 ikourmou           thanks, drojf1, that was my next question
20:57 wizzyrea           stuff = a url, specific copy you'd like there
20:57 wizzyrea           otherwise you're leaving it up to me :)
20:58 ikourmou           and another question:
20:59 ikourmou           if we get to many proposals for presentations, what is the best way to choose?
20:59 ikourmou           or should we try to fit them all to the schedule?
20:59 rangi              that's up to you
20:59 rangi              but one question to ask is, are you definitely coming
21:00 rangi              when i ran kohacon10
21:00 rangi              we got a lot of proposals, then a lot couldn't come
21:00 rangi              so it's easy to drop those ones out
21:00 ikourmou           ok, i will note this - hadn't thought of it :-)
21:00 drojf1             you may get a lot of papers from a single institution, who you could ask to share slots. if you got the same topic covered by a library and a support provider, choose the library
21:00 bag                magnuse: knuckles
21:00 rangi              after that, we had enough :)
21:01 drojf1             or make them collaborate ;)
21:01 BobB               if you have the capacity, you can run parallel sessions too
21:02 rangi              which is kinda horrible imho
21:02 rangi              :)
21:02 rangi              i think single track conferences are so so so much better than multi track
21:02 irma               that would not be my choice ... parallel sessions
21:02 cait               yeah... having to pick... aah
21:02 fredericd          #info Frédéric Demians, Tamil
21:02 cait               :)
21:02 magnuse            bag: HI
21:02 wahanui            que tal, magnuse
21:03 rangi              however, sometimes you can ask if someone would rather present as part of the hackfest
21:03 cait               having some kind of discussion/roundtable thing or question and answers is also good to fill slots
21:03 rangi              having said all this .. it's never been a problem in the past
21:03 irma               single track conferences ++
21:03 cait               maybe worry, once the papers come in :)
21:03 rangi              and having too many presentations will be a new and exciting problem to solve :)
21:03 cait               oh, and set a deadline - i think i tmakes people actually write abstracts
21:03 cait               can still extend if necessary
21:04 ikourmou           we were thinking of placing "introductory" presentations in the morning sessions, leaving the more specialised ones for the afternoon
21:04 rangi              that makes sense to me
21:04 ikourmou           another question:
21:04 drojf1             sleeping in ++
21:04 ikourmou           Is there something we should take care of, regarding travel arrangements?
21:05 magnuse            #info Magnus Enger, Libriotech, Norway
21:05 ikourmou           especially for people oustide the EU?
21:05 rangi              I have always found a page, that lists airports close
21:05 BobB               the conference should be accessible for librarians and newbies; very technical presentations can be left to the hackfest
21:05 rangi              really helpful
21:05 rangi              and maybe a link to VISA requirements etc
21:05 rangi              also, for some people they make ask you for an invitation letter
21:05 wizzyrea           does greece ... yeah that
21:06 BobB               ikourmou I would like a scholarship to attend the conference please, $5k should do it :)
21:06 rangi              so having a letter you can sign and scan is handy too
21:06 rangi              (it helps with some people getting a VISA)
21:06 ikourmou           BobB: I 'll see what we can do :)
21:07 BobB               thanks ikourmou, I will wait patiently
21:07 ikourmou           ok, noted (VISA info and invitation letter). thanks
21:08 cait               i forgot to add #info... but curious people wil read full minutes i hope
21:08 cait               #info forgot to add more infos... lots of KohaCon infos in full meeting logs
21:08 BobB               cait +1
21:08 cait               ikourmou: any more questions? or questions for ikourmou?
21:09 rangi              http://kohacon15.projektlinkkonsult.com/getting-to-ibadan/  <-- a page like that is handy
21:09 ikourmou           rangi: yes, i've seen that
21:09 Joubu              Are there good beers in Greece?
21:10 rangi              heh
21:10 rangi              http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon13/Social  <--- i brought my own
21:10 wizzyrea           that's probably the most important question
21:10 ikourmou           is there anything that you would like sto stress out in general? especially you people that already organised a conference before...
21:10 rangi              but pages like that on the wiki are good to create too, also
21:10 rangi              http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Kohacon13/Arrivals
21:11 ikourmou           Jobu: a lot of microbreweries, i hope you will find interesting

21:13 cait               #info looking for dates for the next meeting
21:13 BobB               there are two things to do re fundraising
21:14 BobB               organise a meeting
21:14 BobB               and write rules for the HLT Grants committee - Galen and I are to do that
21:15 BobB               bag do you have any info on how much has been raised at HLT?  I suspect not a lot yet?
21:15 cait               #info Galen and BobBto write rules for the HLT Grants committee
21:15 bag                I don’t have that - but I can ask Jo and will report for the next meeting
21:15 cait               #action bag to ask how much has been raised so far
21:15 cait               and report...
21:15 wahanui            i guess report is for Overdues that we want to mail out from the library, not use peoples' emails. It needs to show the patrons' information and just the items that are overdue all on a single page. Each page needs to have one patron only. Can anyone help me with this?
21:15 BobB               cool, I'll have another go at scheduling a meeting
21:16 BobB               wahanui, read the manual
21:16 wahanui            BobB: i'm not following you...
21:16 pianohacker        wahanui: forget report
21:16 wahanui            pianohacker: I forgot report
21:16 cait               #action BobB to schedule the meeting
21:16 cait               any questions?
21:16 pianohacker        also hi y'all
21:17 cait               moving on :)
21:17 cait               #topic Let's Encrypt
21:17 drojf1             we are running a little late already, i'm trying to make this short. i think it would be good to support letsencrypt as soon as possible
21:18 drojf1             gmcharlt introduced me to eric hellman who is going to look into letsencrypt adoption by library projects for the library freedom project, they are pretty interested in this too
21:18 cait               just a warning - if no protests i'd like to move the kohacon voting discussion nd the INSTALL.debian topics to the next meeting
21:18 drojf1             i basically have two questions: 1) it's only debian script changes, can we have it in stable before 3.24 (when it's tested ok)? 2) should it become default eventually, or would that be considered antifeatureish?
21:18 cait               drojf1: does it have any new dependencies?
21:19 cait               i think that hs been the major blocker for backporting - or one of them currently
21:19 drojf1             not in debian yet, beuase there is no package
21:19 * magnuse          would vote for getting it into 3.22.x
21:19 drojf1             atm you need to checkout from git. i dont know how long this will take until its in the repo
21:20 drojf1             the bug is 15303, i added a new patch today and it can be tested (please)
21:20 wizzyrea           +1 to make it very easy to SSL
21:20 drojf1             i will open another for koha-letsencrypt to do it with existing installations
21:20 drojf1             but in the long run i think it would be good to have this as a default (which can be overidden of course)
21:21 magnuse            +1 to make it default
21:21 cait               maybe: backport but make it optional
21:21 cait               and think about default for next release?
21:22 davidnind          I think it needs to be optional, for those behind firewalls
21:22 drojf1             i would propose: backport, as optional. and label it experimental maybe, because you need to checkot the client yourself and stuff
21:22 rangi              yeah
21:22 cait               davidnind: i think it would always be - just thinking about the default setting
21:22 magnuse            make it easy to enable for existing sites and default for new sites
21:22 cait               i think i didn't phrase it right
21:22 drojf1             oh. it should always be optional!
21:22 drojf1             a default an be overridden of course
21:22 cait               i meant non-default - not optional :)
21:23 drojf1             it wont work for everyone, that is for sure
21:23 drojf1             and some people will use their own certs, etc
21:24 drojf1             but if we backport it now we also have more testers and can fix stuff before it may be a default
21:24 drojf1             it's not interfering with koha codebase apart from the debian scripts
21:24 cait               jajm is not here tonight, so we can't reall ymake a decision i think
21:24 drojf1             true
21:25 cait               but we can get an idea about what poeple tend to maybe
21:25 cait               is someone against backporting?
21:25 cait               or has questions? doubts?
21:25 rangi              id wait until its packaged, it's kinda moot at this point ;)
21:26 rangi              (ie making a dependency, it needs to be debian packaged before we could that anyway)
21:26 Joubu              I'll read the patch first :)
21:26 rangi              but certainly showing how to install it with Koha, is a great idea

21:35 wizzyrea           hehe
21:35 eythian            yep
21:35 rangi              he was too busy eating cheese
21:35 wizzyrea           ^.^
21:36 barton             good meeting, cait.
21:36 wizzyrea           now I want cheese.
21:36 cait               pleas tell me you dressed up and got a photo?
21:36 eythian            I know where you can get some
21:36 eythian            cait: i didn't, sorry
21:36 wizzyrea           I mean that's a perennial thing
21:37 cait               you can go back
21:37 cait               !
21:37 wizzyrea           you should because I think we all need to see you in a dutch cheesemonger outfit.
21:37 * barton           goes in search of cheesy commestibles.
21:37 drojf1             eythian: you are still the default contact for debian scripts in BZ. i hope you enjoy my emails (and maybe that should be changed?)
21:37 rangi              hmm i think they probably are bouncing too
21:38 eythian            drojf1: no biggie, they go to catalyst so I can't see them
21:38 rangi              we should change that
21:38 drojf1             ah
21:38 drojf1             great :D
21:38 wizzyrea           probably gmcharlt would be a better endpoint?
21:38 rangi              *nod*
21:38 rangi              gmcharlt_: no objections to that?
21:38 wizzyrea           I know he really wants more email :P
21:38 cait               it's probably time again to revisit some of the defaults
21:41 drojf1             i have a patch to automatically set up a .onion domain (tor network) for the opac too
21:41 * drojf1           goes all crypto on koha
21:42 rangi              :)
21:42 * eythian          &
21:43 drojf1             can we have .onion as a default? ;)
